Coffeeshop doubles as a community gathering place | Exclusive

Just west of downtown, Encounter Cafe feels like the sort of place many Athens residents spend years driving past before finally stepping inside. Located at 660 W. Broad St., the café offers something increasingly rare near the city center: a spacious, unhurried environment where guests can settle in with a coffee, work on a creative project or meet friends without competing for table space. Exclusive | Sweetie Pie by Savie finds support in pop-up shop Encounter Cafe operates inside Encounter Church, which traces its roots to Windborne Church, a congregation founded in 2013 by a group of local young adults and Pastor Merle Strangway. Over time, the organization developed a strong connection to Athens and the University of Georgia community, particularly through outreach to international students. Today, the café serves as an extension of that community-focused mission. A new chapter began in 2024 when Mark Hensley became pastor and Windborne Church rebranded as Encounter Church. The organization relocated to its current Broad Street home and launched the café as a welcoming gathering space open to the wider community. Rather than operating solely as a church amenity, Encounter Cafe opened a year and a half ago as a place where locals
